This is a story absorbingly told about an institution in far away London which for a century has served Indian students who arrived as strangers to the city. It has nurtured young Indian minds within a congenial ethos of Indian culture. The book gives its readers a peep into the lives of these aspiring Indian students. The institution itself has passed through vicissitudes of fortune, including its devastation in 1940 by one of Hitlers bombs in the Battle of Britain. It had to shift its location three times in three decades, all of them in Central London, in the vicinity of the University of London. As Indias national centre for students, it enjoyed such eminence that Queens, Princes, Prime-Ministers and Presidents come to share their views with the scholarly young minds. It is a story of the success of yeoman service to Indias youth and a nursery of Indias administrators, medical men, leaders, technocrats, scientists and intellectuals.
